Lilly watched as everyone moved at a snail's pace. It was quite refreshing actually. Back at the motor inn it almost always was hustle and bustle. No one ever really had time to relax. Here however it seemed so peaceful. She could even here birds chirping which to her resembled an angelic choir. It had been so long since she heard them.

Yet still she just felt off here. Like something just wasn't right. Perhaps it was the brothers, or maybe it was just the fact that she never felt comfortable around farm folk.

Looking straight ahead she gazed across the horizon in front of the farm. Nothing to see but the electric fence.

"That's the fifth time you know." Larry said.

"What is?" She asked

"That's you've checked to see if he was back."

"I was just viewing the farm."

"You were just viewing the area ahead to see if you're "precious Lee" had returned."

Precious Lee She thought

"So I'm a little worried, I worry about everyone in the group." She protested

"Well make sure you keep it that way." Larry grunted.

Lilly looked over the horizon again but nothing had changed.

"It'd probably be better for us anyway if he didn't come back." Larry stated.

"How would that be better?! Then we'd be one short for hunting, scavenging, and there would be no one to back me up in front of Kenny!" She shouted

Larry acted as if she had run a dagger through his heart.

"Don't I always back you up?!"

"Yes dad of course, I just meant….. You know….. Someone who isn't my father."

"Hey are you two done I need a minute with Lilly" Kenny said.

Lilly was so into their conversation she hadn't noticed he had departed the swing and approached them.

"Sure…." She said though in truth she dread what this may be about.

Kenny led her down the steps which lead to the gazebo. The whole time she was viewing the area in front of it. Still nothing.

Come on Lee if he's about to go off on me I could use some back up! She thought to herself.

"We need to check the barn." Kenny said plainly.

"What are you talking about?"

"There's a door in the barn that they locked up real good when we arrived. We need to check that out. Now here's the plan…."

"No! No plan. We don't want to do anything to get us thrown out. We just have to keep our heads down until after dinner!"

Kenny seemed taken aback but he held his ground.

"Listen I'm doing this with or without your help."

"Then screw it up for everybody then, why don't ya?"

"Oh calm down, princess, I'll do it myself."

Kenny turned around and headed to the barn.

Lilly stared at his back not knowing what to do. If Kenny got to nosey then they may get thrown out. However there was nothing she could do. Looking to her left she saw that Lee had come back and seemed to be listening in on their conversation.

She wanted to talk to him about what Kenny said but she was not about to walk up to him. Instead she returned to the gazebo and waited. He would check on what was wrong eventually. He always did.

"What was that about?" asked Larry

Lilly thought for a moment and realized what a huge mistake it would be to tell her father about Kenny's suspicion.

"Nothing, just the usual." She replied.

"Someone needs to go give that boy a good smacking!" He shouted.

For once Lilly agreed with her father. Just then she noticed Lee walking toward the barn. He looked over at them for a few seconds. Then he opened the barn doors and disappeared inside.

Well guess it would make sense he would check on Clementine.

Lilly eyed the barn doors waiting for him to reemerge. She was so focused on them she hadn't noticed that her dad had gotten up from his seat.

Larry stretched his arms. "Lilly?" He asked

"I wasn't staring" She quickly retorted.

"Huh?"

"Um…nothing what did you want?"

"Nothing just going to stretch my legs for a while" Larry said as he left the porch area.

Lilly knew exactly what he meant. He had been eyeing Brenda ever since she came out of the house.

She looked over to the barn once more. There was still no movement. It wouldn't have taken that long to say high to Clementine, which could only mean that Kenny had gotten a hold of him and was probably spewing out all sorts of conspiracy theories.

If she was completely honest with herself she was a little curious why the St. John's would bolt a door down, but that was their business. She wasn't about to pry and loose the chance of a free meal. Especially since she hadn't ate anything in two days.

"In deep thought" a familiar voice said next to her.

Turning to her side she noticed Lee had entered the gazebo.

What is with me today? She thought.

"Lilly you all right" Lee asked obviously noticing the woman's silence.

"Oh yeah I'm fine." She replied quickly.

"Well I noticed your dad was talking to Brenda figured this would be a good time for us to talk" He said.

Lilly was thrown back for a moment. What did Lee mean by that? Also what did she hope he meant by that?

"Kenny was telling me about the door."

Of course that's what it is! She thought to herself.

"Not you too." She said.

Just then Lilly's stomach let out a growl reminding her of how long it had been since she had a decent meal.

"Bet you wish you had taken those rations I offered you this morning." Lee stated.

"Shut up." She replied. Though she couldn't help but dawn a half smile which he returned.

"Anyway about the door."

"Lee we should just drop it. Just get our food and go."

"Please Lilly just listen for couple minutes."

Lilly looked at him. If anyone else had said that to her she would most likely had slapped them, but since it was Lee she felt complied to listen. She crossed her arms and leaned against the railing to show she was willing.

"When we were in the woods Danny and I bumped into this woman. Jolene I think her name was. She was kinda talking crazy but at one point she was trying to tell me something."

"And what was that?" Lilly butted in.

"I'll don't know because as soon as she began Danny shot her." He replied

Lilly got a cold feeling. She already didn't trust these people and this was like the icing on the cake.

"He just shot her?"

"There's something else" Lee said

"What else could there be?"

Lee turned to face the front of the barn. "When Mark and I first came here Andy asked us to survey the fence, see if any walkers were stuck on it. While we were picking fixing some of the post the fence turned back on and that's when Mark got shot. When we got back Andy said he thought Mark's yelling was an indication we were done surveying the fence and he even apologized for turning it on."

"So, sounds legit." Lilly said not knowing where he was going with all this.

Lee gave out a deep sigh. "I really hope I'm wrong about this. I've gone through this over and over in my head and it came to the same outcome every time."

"What?" Lilly asked.

"Mark yelled about 7 seconds after the fence came on."

Lilly suddenly realized what Lee was saying. She hoped he was wrong as well but the evidence seemed to just be piling up against the brothers.

"Lee listen." She said. "Whatever you're gonna do be careful."

Lee nodded obviously understanding what she meant.

He headed back to the barn but not before first interrupting her father and Brenda's conversation which brought Larry back near the gazebo.

Lilly watched as Lee once again exited the barn and began to mess with one of the generators.

"What is he up to?" Larry inquired.

Lilly knew she had to come up with some kind of excuse.

"Probably just seeing if anything's wrong" Was the best she could come up with.

A moment later Andy emerged from the barn seemingly angry. He went straight for the generator and Lee returned to the barn.

Suddenly Lilly heard a bell ringing.

"Okay ya'll dinner time!" She heard Brenda yell."

"Well come on Lilly." Her dad said as he rose from her seat. She followed him though her eyes never left the barn doors. Kenny and his family came out with Clementine but Lee was yet to be seen. As she reached the door she stopped and once again looked over to the barn doors.

It was quiet but she noticed Andy was walking about to them. She wondered whether she should try go distract him but was suddenly pushed inside.

"Hurry up princess." Kenny said "Some of us want to eat."

Lilly wanted to say something but at the moment she was too worried about Lee. Looking to her left however she saw a small bathroom with a window inside and headed straight for it.

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Andy and Lee departing from the barn on seemingly good terms.

"Thank God." She accidently said out loud.

"Thank God what?" asked Kenny who was still in the hallway.

"Ummmmmm… thank God I can wash up before dinner."

Lee headed inside the house right behind Andy. He was trying to explain how a walker had gotten in the house before but honestly Lee was more concerned on why Andy would bring his gun to the table. Looking to his left he saw Lilly depart from what looked to be a bathroom. She stared him down as she walked by. That stare was all he needed to understand what she was saying.

Check on Mark! Was written all over her face.

At the table Lee excused himself to wash his hands so he could do just that. Though he would never truly be prepared for what he was about to witness.

Vomit started pouring out like a faucet once the lot were thrown into the meat locker. Travis already had a weak stomach and the knowledge of what was inside it didn't help.

He just couldn't believe this was actually happening. They had fed them Mark's Legs!

Just the thought caused more food to exit his stomach and onto the floor below him.

He covered his ears. It was pure pandemonium. Kenny seemed to be trying to find a way out, while Lilly joined him in regurgitating their last meal. Larry just kept banging on a metal door. All the while yelling for them to open it up as if that would help.

Just then Travis noticed stirring next to him. It was Lee he was regaining consciousness. Clementine immediately walked over and the two began talking. Only to be interrupted however by Larry who seemed angry at Lee for bringing them here. Kenny told the old man and everyone else to just shut up and Lee immediately began looking for a way out.

Travis wasn't sure what to do. Come on man your dad was in Special Forces! You can't freeze up now.

As if through a reaction he began to survey the room. He noticed Lee focusing on the air conditioner which made sense. If air was getting to the room there had to be a vent somewhere.

Before Lee could finish examining the unit however Larry suddenly collapsed. His daughter started to give him CPR and begged the others to help her.

"Remember what Ben said. Gotta destroy the brain….." Kenny stated.

The three had been talking so fast that Travis could barely keep up with the conversation, but that statement from Kenny stuck out. Travis knew exactly what he implied.

Suddenly Lee knelt down in front of Lilly and began to pump the man's chest with his hands.

"Are you stupid?! He's gonna turn! You're putting All of us at risk!" Kenny shouted causing Travis' attention to turn to him.

He watched as the man grabbed one of the salt licks and raised it high above Larry's head. Without even thinking he grabbed the salt lick from Kenny and the two began wrestling for it.

"Stop!" Travis shouted

"Let go! You moron he's gonna turn." Kenny shouted back.

Travis struggled but knew he was not going to win this fight. Kenny was stronger than he was.

"What is all that racket?!" A voice shouted from behind. Suddenly the two stopped struggling and turned to Lee and Lilly. The voice had not originated from either of them.

"DAD!" Lilly shouted as her father began to sit up. Lilly hugged him before he was able to get up fully however.

Kenny dropped the salt lick which made Travis realize how heavy it really was.

"You're alive!?" Lee shouted.

"He's… alive." Kenny agreed though his voice was much less enthusiastic.

Travis gave a half smile as he realized he had just possibly saved the old man's life. He had only been here a day and he knew that Larry wasn't the nicest of fellows, but he was not about to let Kenny kill the man. Especially when Lee was attempting to resuscitate him.

"Get your paws off me Lee!" Larry said Noticing Lee's hands on his chest.

Lee backed away and stood up.

"Dad Lee just saved your life." Lilly said

"What?"

"You had a heart attack and he gave you CPR." Lilly explained.

"CPR! You mean you let him kiss me?!"

"I gave you chest pumps." Lee quickly answered.

"Well it was probably you who gave me the heart attack in the first place….." Larry began.

"Dad!" Lilly intervened.

Lee simply shook his head and went back to examining the air conditioner.

"Hey Larry you still got sixty cents in your pocket?" He asked.

"What's it to you." Asked Larry

"We could use it to get out of here. That's what's it to me."

Larry seemed like he was going to respond when his right side seemed to bother him again. Lilly pushed him against the wall so he could sit up properly. Reaching into his pocket he grabbed two quarters and a dime and handed them to Lilly who gave them to Lee.

He used them to remove the screws off the air conditioner which revealed a small vent. Clementine crawled through it and emerged from the other side of the door which Kenny quickly used to exit.

"Crap, he's gonna get us all killed." Lee said.

Travis wanted to leave but thought it best to wait for Lee to decide on what to do.

"We gotta go." Lee said.

"I know but I don't think dad can walk right now." Said Lilly.

"I'm fine" Larry stated. However as he tried to get up he seemed dizzy and immediately returned to a sitting position.

"Travis." Lee called.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Come on let's go before Kenny let's em know we got out."

"Right behind you man." Travis replied.

He was ready to get out of this meat locker.

A/N Quite a Twist. Thanks to Travis and Lee, Larry is still alive. I always wondered what would happen if he had survived the meat locker. How it may have prevented Lilly's psychotic breakdown or perhaps something worse down the road. Thank you all who reached the end and God bless you all.
